Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Washed off the dust.

Tried that upper engine cleaner.

Seems a little better, cant really tell.

[Got a Pulsar]

Ooooh, I got some of that Nulon Air intake cleaner stuff yesterday. (spray in a vac line with engine running etc...) is this the same?

gonna try it on the SkyWags and if good I'll do the 33 and the Micra too.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

I got Threebond upper engine cleaner, apparently its the exact same product as the Subaru one.

You can get it at Repco.

Its nice and smooth when cruising around, i can feel the difference.

I think what you got is basically carbie cleaner. Which is real good for fuel deposits and gunk in the inlet.

I dont know if it cleans inside the combustion chamber as well.

Mechanic in a can is never as good as pulling it apart and cleaning it properly.

But so much easier... its a pity they are only good for maintenance not repair.

Also tried my foaming brush today, too much water, not enough foam.

Maybe i can adjust something and get it working.

Battery, fuel canister and fire extinguisher in the middle - awesome !

So we have spark and fuel. Oxygen in the vehicle. Lucky you have a fire extinguisher

Well after washing the cars 2 days ago then with rain and then dust yesterday I washed them again today....

also put new Ultra high performance Century battery in the 32 and new spark plugs

a lot easier to do than 33's and 34's but still a pain due to strut brace and valley cover

bought some Stanley tools from Supercheap ($280) and then returned them an hour later. Stanley are Shit tools now days.

Will go out to that new Total Tool shop in Fyshwick as apparently they have quality tools !!

Oh, those Nulon instructions seem like the best way to clean the pistons.

Mine didnt say to do that. Hmmmm......

Foaming too... not carbie cleaner.

And yeah the Volvo got filthy 10 minutes after i washed it, and the 32 didnt get dried, so it was filthy too from going wet into a dusty shed.

Total tools had a 7/64 or something allen key that is a stupid American weird ass size. Only place i could find one.

They have a VERY large selection of tools. Good brands too.

You will like.

I got sick off shit tools so have slowly been building a nice set. It makes life soo much easier hanging off tools that dont strips heads or blow out ratchet gears.

The subaru upper engine cleaner works BETTER at cleaning an IACV with the engine running, than what is possible when you strip the IACV off and scrub it!

[JimmyS]

Went to SCA and got a car cover, some Meguiar's Gold class car wash and Ultimate polish. The car wash was awesome and once it cools down i will get onto the polish.

[RosieR34]

Did a 5k service with Rob - Saw skywagon and R33 - looking good.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

He said your learning to DIY....

Good stuff.

Hacking out some steel with Rob thisarvo, making a strutbrace for the skywagon.

The tricky bit is done, just needs a little trim to fit.

Rob, ever done mig welding? Wanna have a go? You can practice first.

Im not much good at it, but its fun shooting drops of molten metal at 50Hz.

[Got a Pulsar]

Nup, never with a Mig, only did a quick Arc Weld in Metal work in High School. Was fun though.

I might have a crack at it!

Put a can of Nulon Foaming Air Intake cleaner through the Wagon today. Was Expecting a cloud of 24yr old crap to come out the Zaust.

I got Nothing.

Feels a little snappier in response now though but it must've cleaned something out good. (AAC Valve) In park It now idles a 2000rpm!

Need to adjust it.

and yes, RoseBud is starting to Bloom. New Fuel filter, Oil filter and Fresh Oil all done (Mostly) by Jeremy. plus a couple of cable ties here and there.

Anytime Bud.

[THE34T]

Ahhhhhhh .... nice family pic mate

[Got a Pulsar]

LOL! Yeah... Theys is me Girls.

Cold Start valve cleaned/adjusted.

AAC Valve/idle screw adjusted.

Cruise control cable adjusted. (too much tension/Throttle was slightly open)

Now the Wagon idles at 1000rpm.

I love this game.

[Sinista32]

Who's your favourite ? lol

Well after doing new plugs and battery on Friday the GTR wouldn't start

Got annoyed and let her sit and think about what she'd done wrong to me !!!

Until today.

I decided to take a look and eliminate things it could be.

Started going through things from Fuse to Fuel pump via ignition was the plan.

Checked Fuel pump fuse and all other fuses. Fuel pump was priming ok or at least making the right sounds. No idea if fuel was getting to the injectors yet.

Was starting on removing the valley cover to get to the coils, loom etc and the new plugs and thought I'd just try the ignitor first

Kicked over first try when I put my spare in - always the simplest things hey ...

I was that I didn't have to keep going
